Custom Grooved Glass

Single Prairie

Double Prairie

Petal Marquis DiamondTudor Trellis Florentine

Besides being energy efficient, the insulating glass in your window should be beautiful, too. Window Depot offers a wide range of opportunities to further customize your windows. Additional options include a variety of grooved glass, between-the-glass blinds, custom grids and interior/exterior color options.

Decorative Blinds Between the Glass Mini-blinds are available that are sealed inside the glass unit of your windows, giving you extreme control over the amount of light you want to enter the room at different times of the day. Very few window companies can offer this option.

This protective glass treatment is factory-applied to all of the glass surfaces of your windows. It makes your windows hydrophobic, which means they become dust and water-repellent and considerably easier to clean than regular windows.

WHAT IS A “GLAZING SYSTEM”?For many years, windows were made with a single pane of glass. And while this pane of glass provided shelter from the elements and a view to the outside world, it provided modest insulation for your home, at best.

Scientists and engineers knew that in order for a window to provide true energy-saving insulation power (and remain clear and beautiful), it must combat all the sources of energy loss through the glass. This is where the Insulated Glass Unit comes in.

Insulated Glass Units secure two or three panes of glass together into an airtight unit, utilizing SPACERS to hold the panes apart and seal them together at the same time.

The other elements of an IG unit include Low-E coatings on the surfaces of the glass (to block certain IR and UV rays), and various INERT GASES (which are better insulators than air) used to fill the inside of the unit.

Collectively, this combination of glass panes, Low-E coatings, gas fills and spacers make up the Insulated Glass Unit. An IG is also sometimes referred to as a “glass package”.

By combining the right technologies into several glass packages, Window Depot USA was able to create their “Energy Bundles”. These bundles allow the homeowner to choose a glass package that fits their energy needs and budget.

PERFORMANCE IS THE KEY

The IG unit in a window is the equivalent to the engine in a car. There are engines of different sizes, different horsepower and different efficiencies. We all know that your engine can make ALL the difference in how your car runs, performs and lasts. The right IG is critical to the performance, energy-efficiency and comfort that your new windows will provide.

Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC): The fraction of solar radiation admitted through a window including what is absorbed and subsequently released inward. The lower a window’s SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits and the greater its shading ability. Different climates require different SHGC values for maximum efficiency.

U-Value: A measure of the rate of non-solar heat loss or gain through a material or assembly. Tests are usually performed under conditions which simulate 0˚ outside and 70˚ inside with a 15 MPH wind. The lower a U-Value, the greater a window’s resistance to heat flow, and thus the better its insulating value.

Visible Light (VL): This is the fraction of the visible spectrum of light weighted by the sensitivity of your eyes that is transmitted through the window. It represents the amount of daylight that the window lets in and can be referred to as “Visible Transmittance”.

Solar Heat Gain, Visible Light and U-Value – these are all important factors that should be weighed when choosing windows for your home. They all interact with one another to create a harmonious product that is right for you.

For instance, Silver Plus package combines high visible light percentages with a moderate insulating value. It is a great balance of performance and value. However, for those customers seeking maximum insulating power, our Platinum Plus package offers one of the highest insulating factors available.

The key to choosing the right glass package for your home is to find the right combination of performance values to suit your needs. Look to your Window Depot dealer to help you make these decisions. Our philosophy is that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all, which is why we created the Window Depot family of glass.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT GLASS

Low-E coating is a microscopically thin, virtually invisible, metallic layer deposited on the glass surface primarily to reduce the U-Value by suppressing radiant heat flow. Low-E coating is virtually transparent to the solar spectrum (visible light and short-wave infrared radiation) and reflective of long-wave infrared radiation.

Argon & Krypton are odorless, colorless, non-toxic inert gasses that can be used instead of air between panes of glass to increase insulation and energy efficiency. Argon is an excellent insulator, a good value and more readily available. Krypton is a denser gas and therefore a better insulator.

DURALITE® SPACER SYSTEM

3-Sided Continuous Moisture BarrierEncapsulated Desiccant

Insulating Chambers

Structural SpacerBondline Adhesive

Duralite spacer performs better in U-value tests than any other warm edge spacer.

Combining the Duralite Spacer System with the glass options that are available from Window Depot USA results in one of the most energy efficient windows in the industry.

Duralite spacers are more efficient because they contain NO METAL. This means your windows will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, making your home more comfortable year-round. The use of Duralite spacers lowers energy consumption, thus reducing the amount of CO2 gasses released into the environment by the utility company.

With Duralite, you no longer have to choose between the comfort of your family and being environmentally friendly.

Shift Glass Spacing: The Evolution of Triple GlazingThe original concept behind Shift Technology was to take advantage of offset glass spacing to get the best performance out of the argon and krypton gas fills. While that is still the case, advances in Low-E technology have “shifted” our thinking.

We have the ability to produce windows with both offset and symmetrical third panes of glass - shifting the middle pane to wherever it will provide us the best combination of performance and value for your home.

Our philosophy is to provide homeowners across America with more value than any other company in the marketplace. We accomplish this by leveraging our national footprint to offer exceptional prices on the most efficient windows available. It would be our sincere pleasure to demonstrate the remarkable qualities of our Triple Pane upgrade option.

AMERICA’S TRIPLE PANE COMPANY

Q. What is Triple Pane?A. Most windows today come with two panes of glass, often called “Dual Pane” or “thermo-pane.” These windows provide excellent insulation properties for your home, often qualifying for Energy Star standards. Triple Pane glass uses THREE pieces of glass instead of two!

Q. What are the benefits of Triple Pane Glass?A. There are quite a few! By inserting a third pane, the “engine” of your windows is supercharged. This additional barrier provides lower U-Factors, reduces sound transmission, and increases a window’s resistance to interior condensation.

Q. Is Triple Pane Glass expensive?A. From most companies, YES. From Window Depot USA, NO. Our national size and buying power allows us to offer Triple Pane glass for less than most companies charge for Dual Pane.

Duralite Spacer is proven to have superior gas retention compared

conventional spacer systems.

Duralite® – the greenest spacer on Earth!

Our latest technology guarantees the thermal performance of your windows.OPTIGAS & THERMALCERT™

Over 75% of your new Window Depot window is glass, so it makes sense that most of the energy efficiency depends on the type of insulated glass package you choose.

There are three components of the insulated glass unit: type of glass, type of spacer system and gas that fills the space between the glass. The first two are visible – the glass and the spacer. The third component is the invisible part, the gas between the glass.

Answer: OptiGas and ThermalCERT™

With conventional gas filling, you can only assume your glass actually delivers the value promised.

OptiGas is the first fully-engineered, automated and integrated smart-fill system for insulating glass.

ThermalCERT™ is the verification process that provides quality assurance by taking actual thermal conductivity measurements after the gas is inserted.

You no longer have to settle for assumptions.

With ThermalCERT™ by OptiGas, you can be certain the U-Value you were promised is the U-Value you receive.

SINCE THIS GAS IS INVISIBLE, hOw Can yOu bE surE iT is aCTually ThErE?

What is NFRC?You should pick the windows that make the

most sense for your climate. While some windows are better at keeping you warm, others excel at keeping you cool. Performance criteria are based on these climate zones and ratings certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC).

ENERGY STAR & NFRCWhat is ENERGY STAR?ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, helping us all save money and protect the environment

through energy efficient products and practices.

NFRC Energy RatingsEvery window is labeled with the NFRC energy-rating label. Look for this label on your window for exact energy performance ratings, which are based on the overall performance of the window.

ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE OPTIONS*

Composite reinforcement in the meeting rails of every window not only maintains the window’s thermal efficiency, but gives the window added strength where it’s needed the most.

The reinforcement also provides added security. The lock and keeper system screws are anchored into this heavy duty composite, not just into vinyl rails as with most standard vinyl windows.

In addition to ensuring that you have the tightest, most energy-efficient window possible, we also make sure your window is insulated and sealed to your home. Using our exclusive poly-foam wrap, we ensure that the area between your new window and your home does not let any air penetrate or escape from your home.

Composite Reinforcement

If the glass component breaks or cracks after Product installation and during the Warranty Period due to a defect in the material or workmanship, OR OTHERWISE, Vista Window will replace the sealed glass unit (or sash) at its factory or at the installing dealer, free of charge less shipping expenses.

* Additional charges may apply.

Glass Breakage Warranty

CHECK BOXES ( ) TO INCLUDE

By filling selected cavities of each part of the frame and sash with foam, we enhance the thermal efficiency of the window compared to windows with only hollow cavities.

Foam enhancement provides higher energy ratings and helps save energy. This means greater savings for you on your heating and cooling bills.
